ive owned both the dci 65 and the 1.2 16v, put both in a drag race and the 1.2 is quicker... just! take both out a run and the dci feels MUCH quicker because of the torque, the dci pulls from 1500rpm to 3000rpm like the 1.2 does from 4500 to 5500rpm, 1.2s really need rev'ed to move! also your...

1.4 and 1.6 are bassed on the same engine, pretty bullet proof other than apparently ignition coils however we've never went through any on ours, maby they changed them at a later date and are now more reliable. 1.2's have a load of common faults although again ive not had any bother with them...

from memory, engineering tollerances at the time ment that you could have a non cup that sat lower than a cup when it came to suspension setups.

i once watched a guy lower a siera by chopping the springs with an angle grinder when they were still fitted and tensioned! lol

sorry for the overtake, i wasnt trying to race, you were holding me up for my curry! i was in the white gt dci

doesnt sound possible to me however i may be wrong?

are you taking clio 2? cabasse headunit is physically the same looking and same to use, sound is much better, however as above its not exactly aftermarket quality, but you can get full volume with decent amount of bass on standard speakers and it still sounds good. my 172 has cabasse head unit...

16v conversion isnt an easy conversion unless your using a doner car btw. i just stuck a 2nd hand engine in an S reg one, same engine, sourced it for £45! lol

what year is it 1998-03 or 03-05? IK's sound better on the later engines, not much noise to be had on the first style 16v's

if you read the start of the thread you will see some guy said there was no gains to be had by fitting matched inlets on a 182. my post was directed at this due to the fact not all 182's have RS inlets. of course your still going to gain a bit on RS ones depending on how good or bad they are but...

Re: whats every ones preferences of exhaust systems on a 1.2 16v ( if youve owned one k-tec stealth would be my choice if i had to get one, however i cringe these days when i hear a slow car with abig exhaust, i cant beleive i used to publicly let people hear how slow my car was!

lack of ambition in this thread. tce turbo swap, few goodies, 130bhp, set of coilovers, 172 front brakes, keep it standard looking. thats what id be doing if i was 17 again, unfortunately there wasnt much i could do to my engine at that age and had to settle for 82bhp! lol

its a package k-tec offer

i heard rx8's have the weakest pistons known to man ;)

na, waterpump failed at 5000rpm, didnt last long after that lol!

mine comes on at 4,200rpm under 15mph with the launch control :) F4R is one of the most reliable engines ive came across, about the only solid part of the car! lol!

i need to get my ph1 on the rollers to see the graph as it feels to me like its still making power at 7800rpm and my old one used to be running out of puff at 7200! (182 manifold though!) its had double figures in owners so god knows whats been done!

we all do it every once in a while! easier times, working 2 days a week, cleaning the car the other 5!... and of course plenty time for the good old cheap HERO mods!...

theres deffo room for improvement, not sure id consider it value for money though? suppose nothing really is on an N/A engine though!

possibly a miss shapped spigot ring? however im not sure with the ins and outs of them, ive never used them.

stick your camera phone under the fuel rail guaurd and take a pic, you should be able to see it, unless the fuel rail guaurd covers it? i think its slightly above it though! the 2nd inlet branch will have an R on it and the 3rd will have an S

id expect 25bhp and over 40lbft of torque gain on a 65, now if that isnt value for money i dont know what is! EDIT: didnt see tonkatruck's post, 50lbft, f**k me! lol

funny enough ive also had this problem on the same engine, was main gearbox earth, bolts to the front of the box from memory, just under the battery area

i dont think any of us have them on the road at the same time lol mine is just back and you and gaz are off!

that must be what it is, i assume the private ones are the most common ones then?

depends if its running RS inlets or not, ive saw 182 ones worse than your "average" 172 ones

ph1 meet? im in
